A compelling sci-fi action/drama about one woman's vision for the next logical step in human development: the leap from interplanetary to interstellar colonization.

About the Film:

"Science is progress. We believe that science-fiction, then, should inspire us to embrace our future with optimism and wonder and to surpass our limits. This movie is about the value of scientific progress, the importance of exploration, and the human capacity for hope. "C" is a space-age manifest destiny in the shadow of our extinction." — Otto Stockmeier
